Term 1 2013 'Inside Me' Metaphor Poem By Kathleen Requilman
Inside me is a classified file, only for me to read. Inside me is a sharp knife, stabbing my heart when I’m in sorrow. Inside me is a secured safe, keeping in my true feelings. Inside me is a painter, painting my imaginations. Inside me is a mask, can you see my real expression? Inside me is an audience, waiting to be entertained. Inside me is a night owl, wide awake during nighttime. Inside me is a star shining brightly when I’m with my friends. Inside me is a glass - I’m invisible to others. Inside me is a watch-dog, I’m aware of my surroundings. Inside me is a riddle, can you figure out what I’m trying to say?

Seasons SONNET By Amy Metcalfe Yr 7
The chirps of birds echoing in the trees ,
The trees are rustling on a winters day.
The growing flowers are attracting bees,
The leaves are falling off the tree- its May.
Trees are falling down on a stormy day
Dark clouds are going - the sun pushes through.
Stormy clouds here no more they’ve gone away
The sun is shining and the sky is blue.
As the bud forms on the blooming flowers.
The sky gets dark we go under cover
The clouds are dark - now we get light showers
We see the creek- guess what we discover?
Orange, red, yellow magnificent trees,
The trees are now bare nothing there to see.

My Go Kart of the Greek Gods By Darryck Hea
Take the top off Poseidon's trident and carve it into the steering wheel to be used for ultimate racing.
Take Zeus's bolt of lightening (the ultimate source of energy of the Gods) and use this for power.
Use Aphrodite's robe and create a seat of great comfort from the god of love and beauty.
Use Athena's intelligence, skilland handicraft, and use this for crafting the controls and gears of the kart to become the roaming beast of the gods.
Use the power of Artemis to summon wild wolves, use leashes to attach them to the wolves and use them for a head start so the bolt of Zeus won't decrease in power.
Possess the power of Ares and stick all the parts together. If they are incompatible, Ares will make them compatible!
Take the authority of the god Hephaestus and use it for crafting an exhaust so the flames will blast out like a horizontal lighter.
Take the power of Hades, awaken the dead, take their bones and use them to craft the outside of the beast.
Use this kart for racing on the roads of the universe!
'Inside Me' Metaphor Poem
Inside Me is natural selection, evolving and adapting to the ever changing environment. Inside Me is a blade of growing grass, admiring the trees and the grown plants, so tall and so beautiful.
Inside Me is a multi-coloured crayon, colouring the colourless background and empty objects. Inside Me is a chunky, leather book, unappealing and boring in looks but intriguing with it’s twists and unexpected turns.
Inside Me is the silence of the star filled night, so silent, so calm...BOOM!Sounds occasionally interrupt the silence. Inside Me are crackling flames radiating heat and extinguishing the cruel, cold night, bringing light and laughter back into the darkness.
Inside Me is the vastness and variety of space, expanding and increasing with all the weird planets and bright stars. Inside Me is the gravitational pull of the Sun, when you get close enough, you get sucked in.
Inside Me is the “Goldilocks Zone” of the solar system, my position is just right. Inside Me is the Yin of seriousness and the Yang of silliness, they balance each other making the perfect combination. Inside Me is an abyss, filled with ideas and concepts, rising from the dark end.
Inside Me is ME, awoken from the peaceful dream world, into a place where I am a somebody, but a nobody.

My Go Kart of the Universe By Abbie Cotton Drain all the ice and stone out of the white witch of Narnia, to create the chassis of the cart. Take the stars of Narnia stick them in the snowy western woods to make the bright headlights to guide you through dark nights. Pinch Lucy's magical poison and drizzle it onto Prince Caspian's helmet to have the helmet of pain-free racing. Grab some sand from the shore of the world's end, burn the sand and create the 'visor of endless racing' Snatch the steering wheel off Prince Caspian's Dawn reader to have perfect steering. Steal the power of Aslan's roar and drain it into a liquid for the fuel - to have the most dynamic, magical racing in the universe. Combine these ingredients and ride the roads of the universe!
